A bold red with a fairly straight forward flavour. We had this to ourselves but this would do really well at a party and won't offend casual drinkers. — 5 years ago
2013 vintage. Serious stuff. Hunter Valley Shiraz. Bottle #1520 — 6 years ago
Medium lemon colour . Lime cordial with herbal notes , then touches of beeswax , wet wool and a light toasty honied note . On the palate quite light bodied with high acidity and lime , lemon rind and grapefruit , waxy and toasty notes on the finish . Reasonable length and ok balance , not overly intense or super complex but still very well made and successful. Drinking well now but will probably last well for a further decade — 7 months ago

One more from the James Halliday's Collection
Never had a blend semillon verdelho, but i must admit you you can tell than 80% is sem
The wine kept marvellously, it is still fresh and there is a touch of oak which you can hardly tell since the toasty side of the semillon has developed fully, but all the other elements are covered up
A bit of mandarin and loquat
Nutmeg, ginger, white pepper and coriander
Mushroon, thyme and oregano
Graphite, hazelnut, straw and marzipan
It is long and perhaps not for everyone palate(which is probably a minus), but i wish everyone to open a 37yo white wine that has hot so much to say. Should I add how much I love my Hunter Semillon? I reckon everyone knows😅
BTW early morning after in the empty glass left on the table I smell apple crumble with cinnamon..i must be dying for breakfast 😁 — 4 years ago

Pretty light straw , green reflexes . Quite taught and herbaceous on the nose, cut grass with grapefruit , honey , wax , touch toasty , nutty richness . Lemon and lime , slightly toasty notes on the palate, quite long and fresh , saline on the finish . While quite light and not that intense this is still young and could go on like this for another decade or more . — 6 months ago
